The Land of the Earth

Two days later, the sun shone through the dense branches and leaves onto the winding forest path. Song Chaoming, Jingyun, Tianyuan, Feng Qi and Chaoyun were walking and talking and laughing.

They went out this time to look for a rare herb, which was said to have an unexpected effect on improving their cultivation.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the bushes ahead, like thunder rolling in the valley, instantly breaking the relaxed atmosphere.

Everyone immediately became alert, stopped, and their eyes shot towards the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a huge dark blood tiger slowly walking out of the bushes, its figure as majestic as a hill.

The fur all over its body was as black as the night, with faint blood-red lines flickering on it, as if flowing blood, emitting a chilling aura.

The blood tiger's big copper bell-like eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light as it stared at the people in front of it, revealing dagger-like sharp fangs in its mouth, each of which was shining with cold light, as if it could easily tear everything apart.

Tian Yuan frowned and whispered, "Everyone be careful, this is a dark blood tiger, extremely ferocious. It looks like there will be a fierce battle today."

Everyone nodded slightly, gripped their weapons tightly, and prepared for battle.

Song Chaoming's eyes were solemn as he took the first step forward. He could feel the powerful sense of oppression emanating from the dark blood tiger, but he had no intention of retreating.

He raised his hands slightly, and the wood element began to gather in his palms. The green light was looming, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Jingyun stood aside, forming seals with her hands. The power of the hellfire was stirring in her body. Her eyes were burning with fighting spirit as she stared closely at the dark blood tiger's every move.

Feng Qi held the sword in his hand, the blade trembling slightly, with wind elements surrounding it. He lowered his body, ready to find the right opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Chaoyun looked nervous, but still stood firmly in place. The weapon in his hand emitted a faint light, and the power of stone began to gather around him.

The dark blood tiger seemed to sense the hostility of the crowd. It let out another deafening roar, kicked its hind legs hard, and pounced on the crowd like black lightning.

It was moving at an extremely fast speed, bringing with it a strong wind that knocked down the trees along the way.

Song Chaoming shouted, "Wood Piercing!" He suddenly pressed his hands downward, and countless sharp wooden thorns instantly grew out of the ground, stabbing towards the dark blood tiger like spears.

The dark blood tiger flipped flexibly in the air, avoiding most of the wooden thorns, but a few still grazed its body, leaving a few shallow wounds.

Black blood flowed from the wound, emitting a pungent smell, which made the Dark Blood Tiger even more angry, and its roar became more ferocious.

Seeing this, Tianyuan quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered, "Fire Rain Technique!" Countless burning fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky and smashed towards the Dark Blood Tiger like meteors.

The friction between the fireball and the air made a "whooshing" sound, carrying a breath of destruction.

The dark blood tiger leaped high again. Its huge body was extremely flexible in the air and it easily dodged most of the fireballs.

But a few fireballs still hit its back, and the flames instantly burned, singeing part of its fur.

The dark blood tiger felt pain and pounced towards Tianyuan after landing. Its speed was so fast that people had almost no time to react.

Tianyuan's face changed and he wanted to dodge but it was too late.

At this critical moment, Feng Qi rushed out like a ghost, swung the sword in his hand and slashed out a sharp wind blade, shouting: "Wind Blade Slash!"

The wind blade slashed towards the dark blood tiger with a sharp whistling sound.

The dark blood tiger felt threatened, and it forcibly changed direction in the air and slapped the wind blade with its claws.

The wind blade collided with the dark blood tiger's claws, making a sharp metal collision sound and splashing sparks.

Feng Qi was knocked back a few steps by the recoil force, and his arm felt slightly numb.

Jingyun saw the right moment, pushed out with both hands, and shouted: "The sky flame of hell will destroy the world!" The flames intertwined with dark blue and purple-black swept towards the dark blood tiger like a raging sea of ​​fire.

Wherever the flames reached, the ground was scorched black and the surrounding air became distorted.

The dark blood tiger was surrounded by flames. It roared in pain and struggled continuously in the flames.

But this dark blood tiger was extremely tenacious. It rushed forward in the flames, broke through the encirclement of the flames, and rushed towards Jingyun.

Its flaming body was like a burning cannonball, carrying endless anger.

Seeing this, Chaoyun hurriedly waved his hands and chanted a spell: "Stone Shield!" A huge stone wall rose from the ground and blocked Jingyun.

The dark blood tiger slammed hard into the stone wall, and countless cracks appeared on the stone wall instantly, but it still barely blocked the fatal blow.

Chaoyun's face was pale. Casting such a powerful spell had consumed a lot of her physical strength.

Seeing that the dark blood tiger was temporarily blocked, Song Chaoming cast a spell again: "Vine entanglement!" Countless thick vines emerged from the ground and entangled the dark blood tiger.

The vines quickly wrapped around the dark blood tiger's limbs and body like a snake, making it unable to move.

The dark blood tiger struggled frantically. Its strength was so great that the vines creaked and seemed like they would break at any time.

Tianyuan, Feng Qi and Jingyun saw the opportunity and launched an attack at the same time.

Tianyuan's fireball, Feng Qi's wind sword and Jingyun's hellfire attacked the dark blood tiger again.

Three different forces came together to form a powerful energy wave that blasted towards the dark blood tiger.

The dark blood tiger was unable to dodge due to the vines' restraints and could only endure the attack.

With a loud bang, energy waves exploded on the dark blood tiger.

The dark blood tiger was blown away and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Its body was wounded in many places, its black fur was burnt and covered in blood.

But this powerful dark blood tiger still did not fall down. It struggled to stand up from the ground, and the bloodthirsty light in its eyes became stronger and stronger, as if it had fallen into madness.

It rushed towards the crowd again, this time faster and more powerful.

Everyone dared not be careless and responded with all their strength again. Song Chaoming increased the output of the wood element, and more wooden spikes stabbed towards the dark blood tiger;

Tian Yuan's fireballs became more intense, raining down on the dark blood tiger;

Feng Qi's wind sword was even more powerful, and each strike carried a strong force of wind element;

Jingyun's hellfire burned even more fiercely, forming a line of flame defense;

Chaoyun continued to repair and strengthen the stone shield to provide protection for everyone.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and both sides tried their best.

The dark blood tiger was constantly injured by the attacks of the crowd, but it still pounced on the crowd tenaciously.

And everyone gradually felt exhausted under the fierce attack of the Dark Blood Tiger. Everyone's face showed fatigue, but their eyes were still firm, without any thought of retreating.

After a fierce collision, the Dark Blood Tiger suddenly changed the direction of its attack. It bypassed everyone's defense line and rushed towards Chao Jing.

Chaoyun was concentrating on maintaining the stone shield at this time and did not notice the dark blood tiger's sudden attack.

Just as the dark blood tiger was about to pounce on Chao Jing, Song Chaoming shouted, "Be careful!" He rushed towards Chao Yun regardless of everything and used his body to block Chao Yun.

The dark blood tiger's sharp claws grabbed Song Chaoming's back fiercely, instantly tearing several deep wounds, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Song Chaoming felt a sharp pain, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, holding the dark blood tiger's claws tightly with both hands to prevent it from attacking again.

"Song Chaoming!" everyone exclaimed, their eyes filled with anger and worry.

Tianyuan, Feng Qi and Jingyun launched their strongest attack at the same time, attacking the dark blood tiger.

Tian Yuan gathered all his magic power together and cast "Fire Burning the Sky". A huge column of flames enveloped the Dark Blood Tiger. Feng Qi cast "Wild Wind Tornado".

A powerful tornado swept towards the Dark Blood Tiger with countless wind blades; Jingyun burned part of his own vitality.

He unleashed a more powerful "Ultimate Judgment of Hell Flame", and the dark blue and purple-black flames transformed into a huge demon's mouth, biting towards the dark blood tiger.

Three powerful attacks landed on the Dark Blood Tiger at the same time, and the Dark Blood Tiger let out a final, shrill scream.

Its body was shattered by the powerful attack, turning into a bloody mist. Song Chaoming also fell to the ground due to his severe injuries.

"Song Chaoming, how are you?" Jingyun hurried to Song Chaoming, tears in her eyes, and asked anxiously.

Tianyuan and Feng Qi also came over, their faces full of worry.

Chaoyun looked at Song Chaoming with guilt. She knew that if Song Chaoming had not blocked the attack for her, her life might have been in danger.

Song Chaoming smiled weakly and said, "I'm fine, as long as everyone is fine."

After saying this, he fainted. Everyone hurriedly treated his wounds and took him back to his residence.

This battle with the Dark Blood Tiger made them deeply appreciate the friendship of sharing life and death, and also further honed their strength.
